Apple Cheddar Hand Pies

Anyone that knows me, knows that I have a serious weakness for hand pies …OK, ANY kind of pie, but hand pies just seem more special somehow. First, they are individual pies, so you get to eat a whole one by yourself…or two…or five! I love how the half moon shape fits perfectly into the palm of your hand…Hmmm, I wonder if that’s how they got their name? Probably! If not, that’s a heck of a coincidence! 😉

Anyway, this recipe is simply amazing. Of course, apple and cheddar go together like…me and hand pies! The crust bakes up buttery and flaky and oh so good. I dare you to eat just one!

There are a couple of steps to make this recipe, but believe me when I tell you that they are well worth it! Once you taste one of these scrumptious pockets of delight, you will forget about anything else.

Basically, you make the crust first, and while it is chilling, you make the filling. Hey! That rhymes!

Then, you roll out your crust, and cut it into circles, and put the filling right in the middle of each one. Then you carefully fold the circles in half and seal the edges with a little bit of water and a fork to make a decorative edge.

Then, you just put the pies onto a baking sheet, put them into the oven, and sit back and wait for the most heavenly hand pie experience ever!

Can you taste them now? I bet you want to! Well, what are you waiting for? These babies bake up in only 30 minutes! Try them….You can thank me later.
